    Because you could swing a Louisville Slugger with full force at his head and it'd have no effect.

      Nah dude. You can’t say “woodpecker” and Joyce in the same breath or should I say article. That’s disrespecting the man’s power. The man is slashing down trees with a machete. That metaphor is more apt. Phenomenal work rate for such a big guy.

        LOL. "Woodpecker" would be very disrespectful, I agree! I used "woodchipper," though. It's a very powerful machine, even more powerful than a machete. Thanks for reading, I appreciate it.

          This statement "If you were to show footage of Joe Joyce to a casual boxing fan unfamiliar with him, they might think he’s nothing special" invites the writer to describe or mention what is special about Joe Joyce. I am still waiting. A lot of fighters are big punchers and have a high work rate. I should add a lot of fighters are slow and get the job done in a journeyman-like fashion. Joyce is special because...?
          He is special because the writer wants us to think he's special. Joy Joyce is a good, hard-hitting fighter, but I don't believe he "specials" his way to the championship.

            LOL! Yep, that makes him special.
